Lately I have been thinking and meditating on the whole issue of identity and how it relates to the fulfilment off one’s assignment in life. I have been wondering what difference knowing one’s identity would make. How were you put together? What makes you who you are? What is the importance of knowing who God made you to be? Does it have any effect on the issue of personal effectiveness? I would like to tell you that you do not get your identity from fellow human beings based on the titles they confer on you and what they think you are useful for. I can assign the blame for most of the struggles in your life to a lack of understanding of who you are and who God made you to be, so you will delay your destiny because you are wandering in the wilderness of generality when you are a specific somebody with a specific call on your life. The question of identity must be answered with the urgency it deserves.

We all know we live inside the physical body of at least two distinct personalities. One, we show to the world, the other we wrestle with in the privacy of our own fragile inconsistent minds.

Whether you are a new Christian or a person interested in the beliefs of Christians or in the Bible as a work of literature, history, and poetry, reading the entire text can be a daunting task. Here are some tips to help break down the Bible into manageable parts.

Discipline is the key, although it seems like the slow key, it is the fastest key to becoming more mentally agile in every way. Discipline and concentration combined I should say and will say here.

“Love the question. And slowly you will live your way into the answer.” (Rilke) I’m sure some of you are wondering, “What exactly does that mean?” I know the first time I heard it, I didn’t understand it either. Rilke is teaching us to enjoy the ‘unknowns’ of life, rather than always seeking to have a definite answer about things….to have patience and be in the moment of ‘not knowing’.

In some recent studies a group of us have been looking at some of the early questions in the book of Genesis in the Bible. Two men Cain and Abel come with offerings. Cain comes with the fruit of the work of his hands and Abel comes with a blood offering. God accepts Abel’s offering but does not do so with that of Cain and Cain becomes exceedingly angry. God knew Cain’s heart and challenged him. Cain had no done right and Cain had no right to be angry. There is righteous anger and there is an anger that can be so centred on self. We are dealing with rejection and resentment and even jealousy here. This is basically a just world and a moral world and sin has to be paid for and sin has to be dealt with, and that is why Jesus Christ, the Son of God, came into the world.
